REVACRYL AE 4522 K is a specially modified aqueous dispersion of a styrene-acrylic ester copolymer, formulated without film-forming aids, solvents, or plasticizers. It is designed around the demands of waterproofing, priming, and tile adhesive applications where adhesion under wet conditions is non-negotiable.

The polymer is chemically engineered to bond to mineral substrates, maintaining adhesion even in moist or submerged conditions. It forms a clear, tack-free film with good resistance to light, ageing, and alkali. Its high filler loading capacity and compatibility with conventional pigments and fillers give formulators broad latitude in product design, including cement-free, ready-to-use tile adhesives.

For manufacturers in the tile adhesive and waterproofing segment, REVACRYL AE 4522 K offers a technically proven base that supports compliance with standards such as DIN 18156. Its modification chemistry — aimed specifically at wet adhesion — makes it a differentiated option compared to standard acrylic dispersions in markets where product performance under water exposure is a competitive factor.

REVACRYL R 8300 AF is an APEO-free, high-solids styrene acrylic dispersion engineered for applications that demand both flexibility and water resistance. The polymer also exhibits reliable compatibility with cement, broadening its utility across construction chemical formulations.

This polymer enables high elongation and sustained flexibility even at low temperatures, which is especially valuable for waterproofing membranes and joint-filling compounds exposed to thermal cycling or movement. Its cement compatibility makes it straightforward to integrate into admixture formulations without compromising system stability.

REVACRYL R 8300 AF occupies a useful position for formulators who need a single polymer that can serve across waterproofing, jointing, and cement admixture applications. Its APEO-free status aligns with current market expectations for environmentally considered construction materials.

PLEXTOL R 4166 is suitable for sports surfaces (tennis court dressing and running tracks topcoat) and exterior paint with good colour retention and moderate dirt pick-up resistance.
